Grüner Veltliner Ried Kremser Frauengrund Kremstal

Origin and Terroir The grapes are from our vineyards situated in the single vineyard ‘Kremser Frauengrund’ in the south of the Krems valley. The heavy soil of this vineyards is perfect at capturing the sun during the day and keeping the vine warm into the late evening hours after sunset. The micro-climate, created by the Danube along with the cool winds coming in from the ‘Dunkelsteiner’ forest, gives this grape its unique flavour and aroma that cannot be found anywhere else. Vinification The grapes for this particular wine were harvested in the middle of September to ensure that all grapes reached physiological ripeness. As fast as possible the grapes were transported to the wine cellar where they were gently processed. The fermentation was completed in temperature controlled steel tanks. After the fermentation the wine was racked and given the chance to develop its characteristic aroma before being carefully bottled.
